This class offers children exciting first experiences with musical symbols and more complex instruments, laying the groundwork for formal music instruction. In class, your child will investigate a wide variety of musical concepts, such as notation; learn the basics of vocal development; play simple instruments; and explore music, games, and stories from other cultures. And as your child grows musically, she will be developing strong social-emotional, problem-solving, and pre-literacy skills that build school readiness and provide the perfect foundation for academic and social success later on.  Parents join the fun for the final 10-15 minutes of class activities. The Kindermusik@Home home materials extend the benefits all week long with music from class, activities for the whole family, and each theme's story.
